I realized that it was stupid and stopped altogether. But before i stopped i went to therapy for or. It actually made it worse for me at least. Therapy is the last thing i would want to go through. I have scars all over my arm and realized that it wasn't solving anything.

First work out why you are cutting yourself and work on the problem from there. in the meantime try other things less permanent like squeezing an iceblock of flicking an elestic band against wrist. hope this helped

Ask your doctor for some Haldol, it will shut you down.

Hahaha you're kidding right? i'm curious as to how one becomes so stupid that they would cut their wrists. learn how to cope with things without being ignorant. people are just going to think you're a freak. the scars aren't gonna fade. wake the F*CK up.

You just really need to help your self out firstly before you consult to the others and with the help of the almighty above.

Sorry most of the answers here did not help. Maybe this will. Cutting is a sign of low self esteem and depression. I know, I did it too. I hated myself, and the pain of cutting actually made me feel better,I thought. When my mom found out, she didn't scold me, she put me in a hospital, where I got psycological help, and I am better now. Why don' you want to go to therapy. No insurance? If you are still in school, perhaps your councilor can help, or a teacher. Whatever you do, you need help. Believe it or not, cutting is rather common, and very treatable. I wish you luck.

Ask the Lord Jesus to help you hun, you don't have to go through this alone. He saved me from my addictions, from anxiety attacks, depression, suicide attempts, bulimia that was brought on by the self-hatred I had for myself. I tried therapy, meds, you name it..nothing worked. when I finally had enough of the emotional pain that I was in, I prayed to Jesus to forgive me and to help me. And He did! He gave me a joy and peace that I never had before, He gave me a brand new start! I was an atheist before I came to know the REAL JESUS. He is real. He is all-knowing, He is all-loving. I was alone when He came into my life, I wasn't in a church, I was at home, in my bathroom of all places when He showed me who He was. He sees your pain and He wants to help you. He'll take that pain and emptiness and fill it with joy that is out of this world. When I felt His presence for the first time it was like waves of warmth and affection cascading over me..it blew my mind. I can't even explain how it feels to know Jesus. And all you have to do is believe in Him and ask Him for His help and forgiveness. I'm clean now because of Him. I'm happier than I've ever been in my whole life. if you had told me this was going to happen to someone like me I would have laughed at you, but it happened to me and it can happen to you to. If want freedom, from this and all the other problems you're facing then turn to Jesus.
